It can be if it takes the form of a type of lava flow called pahoehoe. However, basalt may also come in the form of jagged a'a flows.

What are some facts about basalt?
Basalt is a dark-colored igneous rock that forms when low-silica lava cools on Earth's surface. It may commonly have vesicles. It often forms two types of lava flow: pahoehoe with smooth surfaces and a'a with rough surfaces. Basalt is commonly formed at mid-ocean ridges, oceanic hot spots, and in continental flood basalts.
